XF 2.2 Remove "mark read" toggle from Alerts Menu

[420]

We want to remove the "mark read" icon toggle when hovering over the alert in the Alerts menu.

Is the proper way to do so by going to the alert_macros template and removing this class:

js-alertToggle alertToggler

from

                    <a href="{{ link('account/alert-toggle', null, {'alert_id': $alert.alert_id}) }}"
                        data-xf-init="tooltip" data-content="{{ $alert.isUnreadInUi() ? phrase('mark_read')|for_attr : phrase('mark_unread')|for_attr }}"
                        data-read="{{ phrase('mark_read')|for_attr }}" data-unread="{{ phrase('mark_unread')|for_attr }}"
                        class="js-alertToggle alertToggler"><xf:trim>
                        <xf:fa icon="fa-circle" class="alertToggler-icon" />
                    </xf:trim></a>

Also, what's the reasoning there is a toggle for this?

Thanks!

I would just hide it with CSS:

.alertToggler{display:none}

There's plenty of uses for it. Here's one example - You message me happy birthday and I see it but don't have time to respond right now. I know I want to thank you later but don't want to forget so I just mark the alert unread.

The intention isn't to hide the "mark read" feature. The intention is to remove its toggle.

The issue comes from a report we received:



Should we try to change it or leave it as is? What do you think?

What are your colors? If there is no difference you should fix it. If you see here on XF they are white and blue.

Looks okay to me. If only one user complained then they may have a sight issue.
